[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Through-Transom Drains

[Michael Meltzer]

I think you right, the OEM thurhull are made as part of the hull layup and size shape go all over the place depending on who made
the hull that year(plugs in the miuold) and the workers doing the finishing at the plant. thier is also an other issue, the cockpit
drain is "stacked" above the hull thurhull so leaving enought room to fit the hoose can be an issue.
